We shall achieve our target by applying Forbo’s 4 R’s:

The 4 R’s are at the heart of Forbo’s efforts to reduce our impact on the environment and are important indicators in our quest to become a more sustainable company.

Creating better environments

Our target To continuously minimise the environmental impact of Forbo Flooring Systems as measured by the weighted categories in our independently verified Life Cycle Assessment measurement system by 25% before the end of 2015 (cf 2009).

Measurement

Forbo uses Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) as the independent methodology of measuring our impact on the environment.

Measuring our LCA

The LCA is calculated for 1m2 installed floor covering from cradle to installation. We based our LCA calculation on the weighed mass of all the products we produced. We also included the energy consumption of all our offices and warehouses worldwide.

When evaluating our LCA, we took into account the following environmental impact categories:

•Acidificationpotential

•Eutrophicationpotential

•Ozonelayerdepletionpotential

•Photooxidantcreationpotential

•Abioticdepletionpotential

•Globalwarmingpotential

You’re thinking real sustainability,

As a global leader in flooring systems we have a responsibility to all of our stakeholders, to create a better environment. The way we serve and drive the market sets the pace and standard for world class flooring solutions. Sustainable development and ‘creating better environments’ are integral parts of all of Forbo Flooring Systems’ activities.

We’re fully committed to reducing our impact upon the environment, not only in the way we run our manufacturing sites but also in terms of our actions and operations beyond the factory boundaries.

We’ve adopted a lifecycle approach in order to identify every possible opportunity to improve our use of scarce resources, eliminate waste, maximise efficiency and recycle and reuse materials.

Here are some examples of how we have used the 4 R’s principle to implement responsible actions.

•Reducingtherequiredneedof‘virgin’ PVCmaterial.

•EngineeringhighenddurablecoatingslikePUR-pearlforvinylandTopshield2forMarmoleum that extend the economic life of the floor covering. The Topshield2 finish allows complete renovation of the Marmoleum and extends the product’s useful life even more.
